Hi Al, What you could try: - Install the roboto fonts - Use another theme - Set Custom DPI in darktablerc, eg. screen_dpi_overwrite=120.0 Chris Am 31.01.2020 um 23:42 schrieb Аl Воgnеr: Bevor I had settings which worked with my UHD-monitor.

Create your own style in a .css file under `~/.config/darktable/themes`, you may have to create this directory. If you want use an existing style and just add some tweaks, you may import one. I have in my `~/.config/darktable/themes/mine.css` @import url("orig/darktable-icons-grey.css"); * { font-size: 10pt; } and `~/.config/darktable/themes/orig` is a symlink to the directory where darktable's original CSS files ended up after installation. Alternatively, you may edit one of the original style files (likely to be overwritten by the next install), or copy one of them to `~/.config/darktable/themes/`, using a different name, and edit to your liking (won't benefit from future changes in the original files). Then run Darktable, and choose the name of your style file in “⚙ / GUI options / theme”.

Is there a feature request for better setting the font size? I changed already dpi with my XFCE, so this is fine for the most programs, but not all and dt looks now unusable.

I do not know about XFCE, but when you're facing font problems affecting multiple programs, then maybe you need to have a look at fontconfig [1], an unfathomable rabbit hole...

Maybe I should start from a default darktablerc. At least some things have changed, e.g., the `panels_collapse_controls` are different now, and have not been converted automatically during upgrade (which would be hard to do in general).

On my Linux system with 32" TV as a monitor, 65 was the good value, while on my Windows system with 24" monitor it was too small and I had to set it to 90.

Maybe it is > different on Patrick's system! The reason is that certain window systems try to be like MS-Windows. Sad but true. The correct term is "directory", even Microsoft knows that, the command line on all MS-Systems requires "mkdir" or "cd" (for change directory), and you list the contents of a directory with "dir" (and not with "folder" (*)). This applies since MS-DOS had a hierarchical file system until today. (*) of course listing it by using its name is confusing, it's MS, eventually (**). The intuitive command for "list" is "ls", of course. But nobody expects and MS product to be intuitive, some people just get used to it. (**) But ok, also VMS (on a VAX) did that...

I'm not sure how this became a topic for this list, but the following is my attempt to put it to rest (not to perpetuate it!): A directory is a feature of a filesystem, which does just what the name implies: listing of filenames and information related to accessing them. A "folder" is a common feature of many modern graphical shells. It represents to the user something you can use in a certain way as a receptacle for dragging or "pasting" graphically represented files, as well as for accessing them. The thing behind the "folder" is often a directory, but by now may also be any sort of "virtual directory" for some other (possibly network related) purpose... the important thing is that it represents a *mode of use* to users of graphical shells. Due to the overwhelming use of this analogy, it may sometimes be used to refer to directories even without the specific context of a graphical shell, but for native speakers at least, the actual meaning is very easily understood. -- jys darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org

AFAIK, Scrollbars of a program are not managed by the window manager. They are governed by the toolkit (e.g., GTK). The program producing the window, and the window manager, *may* use the same toolkit, and your desktop environment *may* provide a means to modify its configuration. -- https://stefan-klinger.de o/X I prefer receiving plain text messages, not exceeding 32kB./\/ \ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
